It's not every day that you get to really dress up—and especially not like you do on your big day! Why not (literally) tie your look together with an extra-special detail: a bow? We love wedding dresses that incorporate the element, and luckily, some of our favorite fashion designers do, too. In turn, we've rounded up some of the best examples showcasing bow accents from the most recent bridal seasons.

Bridal bows take many forms, whether fastened with ribbon around the waist like a belt, stuck in the back for dramatic oomph, or draped down to the floor like a train. Big or small, soft or structural, the motif varies greatly from look to look. Regardless, they crop up again and again thanks to their unique appeal: They're a stunning way to transform something simple into something chic, or to make an already-intricate gown even more of a showstopper. (A colored bow to pop against wedding white? One placed on each sleeve for added extravagance? A delicate sash to emphasize a silhouette? Yes, yes, and yes, please!)

Thinking about buying a wedding dress with a bow (or two)? These gorgeous bridal gowns might convince you. As the following garments will attest, bows can be fun or romantic, but they're always beautiful. This statement-making gown from the Spring 2020 Alyne by Rita Vinieris wedding dress collection is just one amazing piece of evidence. Click through to see even more picks, which range from timeless and classic to bold and modern. There's a version for any style!
